<h4>Background</h4>Systemic inflammation and the fever response to pathogens are coordinately regulated by IL-6 and IL-1β. We previously showed that CEACAM1 regulates the LPS driven expression of IL-1β in murine neutrophils through its ITIM receptor.<h4>Results</h4>We now show that the prompt secretion of IL-6 in response to LPS is regulated by CEACAM1 expression on bone marrow monocytes. Ceacam1<sup>-/-</sup> mice over-produce IL-6 in response to an i.p. LPS challenge, resulting in prolonged su ...[more]
